If you detect the delicious smell of fresh bread wafting across the marketplace, then you can be sure that it comes from Peter Schäfer’s bakery. Here bread is produced in the traditional manner: from sour dough prepared on site and baked in a stone oven over a century old. Crisp bread rolls, delicious cakes and pastries are also made here. And they are only available at the Hessenpark Open Air Museum.

Making brushes is a traditional craft for the Hintz family. The practice of this trade is now in the third generation.  The offering in their shop is unbelievably large – there are brushes in every conceivable shape, and made of different materials to clean and brush everything. They make them for housework, the kitchen, personal grooming and even for dolls’ houses. And they use only natural products in their brushes.

Here you will find high-quality wooden toys, games, decorative items and of course “Schawellsche”, the southern Hessian dialect for stool. Some of the products are made in carpentry workshops in Oberursel by disabled people.

The owner, Kathrin Franz, offers good quality, timeless, folklore fashion in her Trachten shop selling traditional attire. There is a wide selection of smart dirndls and robust lederhosen. And many a bride has also found the perfect dress for her big day here.

Since 1 March 2024, Robin Israel’s watchmaker’s workshop has been located in the house from Rörshain. Mainly large clocks such as wall clocks, grandfather clocks and table clocks are repaired on site, but partial repairs to wristwatches can also be carried out here. In addition to a small selection of leather straps and some wristwatches, you can also have a professional battery change carried out on your watch.
